ALBANY - Saying they hope to more fully embrace an interfaith mission, leaders of the Doane Stuart School asid they are ending their three-decade affiliation with the Catholic Society of the Sacred Heart, an order of nuns. 
 
In a letter to students, school president John Robinson wrote that the school's Board of Trustees voted to sever the relationship at a meeting last week. 
 
"We do not believe that we are a school that can remain at once a member in good standing of the Society of the Sacred Heart and a school that can be the place of inclusiveness that we have become," Robinson wrote. 
 
Doane Stuart's decision was granted by the society "with sadness," according to a news release. Doane Stuart was formed in 1975 as an ecumenical Christian school with the merger of the St. Agnes School, a private Episcopal school, and the Catholic Kenwood Academy.

As we approach this critical election, I cannot help but recall with gratitude the "Symposium on Courage" at Barat College on the Saturday following the November, 1968, general election. 
I was a young Dominican friar -- left young, never ordained -- and I can say that the symposium greatly affected me, and helped make me become who I am today. 
As the nation seems to have become more involved than in decades, in choosing its next leaders, I shall always be thankful for that 1968 event, wishing the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Jesus continued courage and success in their ministry, not only to young girls and women, but in their witness to this world.
